We have learned how to read data from Excel or CSV files, next we’ll cover how to save a dataframe back into an Excel (or CSV) file. One thing to note is that the pd.ExcelFile.parse() method is equivalent to the pd.read_excel() method, so that means you can pass in the same arguments used in read_excel(). To get data from a sheet, we can use the parse() method, and provide the sheet name.
To get sheet names, we can all the sheet_names attribute from the ExcelFile object, which returns a list of the sheet names (string). Note that the previous read_excel() method returns a dataframe or a dictionary of dataframes whereas pd.ExcelFile() returns a reference object to the Excel file. We do not need to specify which sheets to read when using this method. With this approach, we create a pd.ExcelFile object to represent the Excel file.

Or you can choose the option Refresh Data when opening the file. Under Refresh Control, you get a command Refresh Every (by default 60 minutes), you can change it. Connection Properties dialog box appears. To obtain data from a specific sheet, simply reference the key in the dictionary. Click on this Connection Properties option from the list. > df.keys()ĭict_keys()ĭict_values([ User Name Country City Gender Age The keys of the dictionary contain sheet names, and values of the dictionary contain sheet content. The df returns a dictionary of dataframes. We will read all sheets from the sample Excel file, then use that dataframe for the examples going forward. import pandas as pdĭf = pd.read_excel('users.xlsx', sheet_name = )ĭf = pd.read_excel('users.xlsx', sheet_name = None) # read all sheets This method requires you to know the sheet names in advance. Select sheets to read by name: sheet_name =.Select sheets to read by index: sheet_name = means the first three sheets.We can do this in two ways: use pd.read_excel() method, with the optional argument sheet_name the alternative is to create a pd.ExcelFile object, then parse data from that object. When using readexcel Pandas will, by default, assign a numeric index or row label to the dataframe, and as usual when int comes to Python, the index will start with zero.
We then stored this dataframe into a variable called df. Here we’ll attempt to read multiple Excel sheets (from the same file) with Python pandas. Here, Pandas readexcel method read the data from the Excel file into a Pandas dataframe object. In the previous post, we touched on how to read an Excel file into Python.
